Sound

Soundtracks are a crucial part in films, they set the mood and when used in dramatic ways create tension and atmosphere in an effective way. For example if the music is by high pitched strings and is short staccato notes it gets the audience on the edge of their seats, as they expect something bad to unfold.
Having the music increase in tempo and volume is an effective way to lead the audience into the action that is about to happen as this builds tension.

When it came to decided which music to use in our thriller piece we decided to use the programme GarageBand. This meant that we can create the music exactly how we wanted it using a variety of instruments.
